Our innovative parking canopy solar structures serve a dual purpose: providing welcome shade for your guests' vehicles while silently producing electricity to power your operations. It's a visible testament to your tribe's commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship.

Building-Integrated Photovoltaics: Where Form Meets Function

For those seeking the ultimate in seamless solar integration, our building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) solutions are nothing short of revolutionary. We incorporate solar technology directly into your casino's architecture—think solar roof tiles, photovoltaic windows, and solar facade elements. The result? A stunning, modern aesthetic that generates clean energy without compromising your facility's design integrity.

Peak Demand Management: Outsmart the Grid, Maximize Savings

Say goodbye to crippling demand charges. Our sophisticated battery systems learn your energy usage patterns and automatically draw stored power during high-demand periods. This intelligent load shifting can lead to substantial reductions in utility costs, putting money back into your tribe's coffers.

Emergency Backup Power: When the Lights Go Out, You Stay On

Power outages can spell disaster for a casino. Our emergency backup power solutions ensure that your operations continue to run smoothly, even when the grid fails. From critical systems to full facility backup, we design redundancy that gives you peace of mind and keeps your guests happy, come rain or shine.

Energy Arbitrage: Turn Energy into a Strategic Asset

Why pay peak prices when you don't have to? Our energy arbitrage solutions allow you to store energy when rates are low and use it during peak pricing periods. It's like having a energy time machine, giving you the power to buy low and use high, optimizing your energy costs like never before.

HVAC Optimization: Comfort Meets Conservation
